Recently, Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer talked about various topics and situations regarding the club in an interview with Camel Live.
This summer, the Bundesliga has lost a number of players such as Florian Wirtz and Randal Kolo Muani. Will this have a negative impact on the attractiveness of the Bundesliga?
“Obviously, the transfer of excellent players to foreign leagues is always a loss for the Bundesliga. After all, these players can play a positive role no matter which league they join. Therefore, it is crucial for the Bundesliga to find appropriate ways to maintain its international competitiveness. If we do not solve issues such as internationalization, we may face the risk of continuous loss of star players and potential young talents, which is obviously a situation that everyone does not want to see.”
“At Bayern Munich, we have helped the team achieve good results on the field by signing players like Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise and Harry Kane. At the same time, the joining of these top stars has also added international appeal to the entire Bundesliga. This is why the Club World Cup is of great significance. During the Club World Cup held in the United States, everyone truly felt the surging enthusiasm of the fans in the stadium. For enhancing the global popularity of the Bundesliga, the performance of German clubs such as Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in international competitions is very critical. We must let the world see our existence; otherwise, we will easily be ignored, and German football is also very likely to gradually become a spectator and become more and more marginalized.”
Regarding Julian Nagelsmann's work in the German national team
“Nagelsmann has undoubtedly successfully reignited everyone's enthusiasm for the national team. However, next year's World Cup journey will not be smooth. The German team has always had the opportunity to go further in the tournament, which requires the coaching staff and players to be fully focused and go all out.”
"For Bayern Munich, it is our tradition to provide core players for the national team. What we value most is naturally the success of the club, but of course, we are also sincerely happy for the success of the national team, because in an ideal state, the success of the club and the national team are mutually reinforcing and complementary."
